I actually made it using only macro and PLE script:
Edit - Split range
transport - locate selection
tool - select tool
edit - select events under cursor
the PLE script
And the PLE script is this:
CONTAINER TYPE IS EQUAL EVENT AND
MEDIA TYPE IS EQUAL AUDIO AND
PROPERTY PROPERTY IS SET EVENT IS SELECTED
ACTION
SET COLOR SET TO FIXED VALUE COLOR #
Track selection follows event selection should be selected in preferences.
The strange thing is that when you want to “locate selection” cubase treats selected range as selection. But when you want to apply color on same event it doesn’t. So you need to select the event additionally with select tool. Very controversal logic i’d say.
nice, I will change my macro, this feels like it should be more reliable. thank you.
agree about the inconsistency - similarly, you can perform an audio - reverse on a range selection, but audio - mute won’t work - the range first needs to be made an event for it to be muted.
Been fideling around with AHK scripting too, and have programed a custom miniToolbar for my touchscreen.
It’s loaded with some of the custom macros and functions i use the most…
Still a work in progress, but it already makes my cubase usage so much easier.

And i’m also programing a script to enable PresetBrowsing in problem vsti’s,
which dont respond to the standard cubase presetBrowsing.
This video is a few months old but you still get a general idea of my thought.
